Toonraider 0 Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 Maybe Billy Connolly's suggestion of having the theme from the Archers as the National anthem would be the best option, it would certainly make the parade at the Olympics opening ceremony more interesting ! 145104[/snapback] Preceded by the Shipping Forecast? 145229[/snapback] or if you listen to virgin late at night, the shitting forecast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6700 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Jerusalem 144540[/snapback] What I was thinking. 144582[/snapback] Uneducated heathens the pair of you..... It's "Til we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land" NOT: "Til we have built England In Jerusalem's green and pleasant land" Written by an English bloke, about England - the perfect 'National' Anthem - none of this "God save the theiving bastards who live happily on the money we work our arses off in order to keep them" bollocks.....

Woodgate27 0 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 GSTQ is a steaming shower of shite. But so are most national anthems, including Australia. Heard the dutch anthem before the friendly the other day, very dull and underwhelming. There are some good ones. South Africa is great. Uruguay's is surprisingly rousing.

Meenzer 15742 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I like Turkey. It's proper aggressive, the players practically spit the words out when they sing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think France's national anthem is pretty uplifting and inspiring. Especially the second verse with the bit about the soil being drenched with the blood of their enemies.

Especially seen as Craig then goes on to describe it as the perfect anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6700 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Perhaps I was reading it incorrectly but I interpreted the wink as ironic in that we're asking for a national anthem which has the title of a non-English city.... Like I said, I may be wrong - that wink made me suspicious though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
